Persistent creatine kinase MB isoenzyme without cardiac disease.

D T King, P C Fu, G M Wishon

    Archives of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine
    |September 1, 1978
    PubMed
    Summary

    Creatine kinase MB isoenzyme aids myocardial injury diagnosis but can appear in non-cardiac diseases or normal individuals. Diagnosis requires additional clinical and laboratory data, not just this enzyme.

    Area of Science:

    • Biochemistry
    • Clinical Diagnostics
    • Cardiology

    Background:

    • The creatine kinase MB isoenzyme (CK-MB) is a biomarker often used in diagnosing myocardial injury.
    • Elevated CK-MB levels typically indicate damage to heart muscle tissue.

    Observation:

    • This case report details the presence of CK-MB in apparently normal individuals.
    • CK-MB was also observed in patients with various non-cardiac diseases.

    Findings:

    • The study highlights that CK-MB is not exclusively indicative of myocardial injury.
    • Non-specific elevations of CK-MB can occur in conditions unrelated to the heart.

    Implications:

    • Diagnosis of myocardial injury should not rely solely on CK-MB serum levels.
    • Confirmatory clinical and laboratory data are essential for accurate diagnosis of heart damage.
